Why do people act like such cheapskates at garage sales?

cheap dinnerware sets for 12 image

Adrianne L

I've been trying to have garage sale to eliminate excess clutter, but many people that stop act like you should put FREE on everything and constantly offer you about 10% of the asking price. It's already cheap enough - like a 12-place setting dinnerware for $20!!! One guy selected a crystal beverage set (24 lovely stemmed goblets) which I had marked $5 and held out his hand. I said "It's five dollars." Then he said "Yeah, so where's the five?" It appeared he expected me to PAY him $5 to take it off my hands. Such affrontery! I'm really getting soured on garage sales.

Answer
it is part of the experience. a guy who will spend $10 for a cigar, will brag how he saved 50 cents on that stemware. don't be so uptight.

Answer
Craigslist is your answer, or any local resale or consignment shop, including Goodwill.
